Graphic Tips

1. Color Mode

Your file has to be in CMYK mode. You can go to Image > Mode > CMYK to view the setting.

2. Blacks

With continuous improvement, our requirements for a deep black may change over time. Currently, this is what we suggest when setting up your print-ready file:
For the following materials: Stretch, Multi-Stretch, Roll Up, Classic Tent
C:0 M:0 Y:0 K:100
*This mix 0/0/0/100 of CMYK is unique to our printers and printing process.

For the following materials: Mesh, Scrim, Super flat, Backlit, One Choice Tent, PVC, Laminate
C:75 M:75 Y:75 K:100
*This mix 75/75/75/100 of CMYK is unique to our printers and printing process.

We have adjusted our profile rips for this specific formula and are getting much better output.

RGB Black to CMYK and True black Photoshop adjustment

RGB blacks convert to a weak CMYK black

You may be skeptical about using a mix with 0% C/M/Y. Reasons why we recommend this formula C-0, M-0, Y-0, K-100:

Colors vary from monitor to monitor and it may not appear a deep black on screen. As mentioned, our profile RIPs are adjusted for this specific formula so it is unique to our process.
Better transfer yield: reduces overthinking which leads to print defects such as banding, mottling, and transfer wrinkles
Automated proofing: less likely to flag your project
Standardizes your black when submitting files to various print houses
Cleaner black vs. muddy black

Photoshop Users

Image Resolution

Images should be high resolution 300 DPI.

In Photoshop, you can go to

IMAGE
IMAGE SIZE
to find out your file resolution.

Determine Image Quality from Source

Low Quality:
Screen capture of the video frame
Low resolution / low-quality stock photography
Image lifted off a web-page

Good Quality:
High resolution / high-quality stock photography
High resolution / high-quality scanner

Raster Document DPI Set Up at 125 DPI

While we recommend using 300 DPI images the overall document you are designing in only needs to be 125dpi. We suggest placing or dragging high-resolution images into this 125dpi Document and scaling as needed.

Color Mode

Your file has to be in CMYK mode. You can go to Image > Mode > CMYK to view the setting.
